Are you experiencing overwhelming grief, struggling with communication in your relationships, or finding it challenging to navigate the complexities of adolescence? I can provide tailored support to address these issues and more. In grief counseling, I offer empathetic guidance to help you navigate the stages of grief, process your emotions, and find healing after loss. For couples therapy, I utilize Gottman-trained strategies to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen your relationship bonds.
